[edit] Accuracy Issue
It is questionable if this event had anything to do with outbreak of 6.4 event/massacre later.

[edit] Online source
Hello. I don't have access to a library. Are there any online sources that can be used to verify this information? Ewlyahoocom 03:42, 26 May 2006 (UTC)
- It would certainly help if anyone can verify the information contained in this article by checking the sources provided. This article was given great visibility at some point because a reference to it, now deleted, was added to the article on the Tian'anmen Square protests of 1989. Because of that, the article has even been translated into the Chinese and Spanish versions of Wikipedia. The impression I have is that it smacks of original research. I have access to many books on contemporary Chinese history and none of them mention this story at all. On the Internet, I found a website where the events were mentioned, but Wikipedia was quoted as their source... The facts, especially the riots at Hehai University, may be true (a comment on the talk page of the Chinese Wikipedia article seems to confirm this) and possibly verifiable through the sources, but it seems a rather obscure story. And the connection the article tries to establish between these racist riots in China and the Tian'anmen protests sounds like a bizarre interpretation. It would help if the original author, or anyone with access to the sources, can clarify what basis there is to establish any sort of connection between these riots and the Tian'anmen protests, and who has advanced such a theory. It is certainly not part of the mainstream interpretations of the 1989 events in China. --AngelRiesgo 14:54, 3 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Another source
Another source of the information can be found at http://www.jstor.org/view/03057410/ap020129/02a00050/0link title Barry Sautman has done alot of research on this and his article is very good. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 131.217.6.8 (talk)
[edit] Hell yeah
Get the fuck out of China. That would be my gut reaction. I don't doubt the accuracy of the article, even if all the source material is written by outsiders (including Mira Sorvino, no less). The bottom line is, and this applies to any (not just African) foreigner -- if you go to China, take away the people's money, and exploit their women, you're going to have a bad time.
